Ethnicity and race are different.

I'm Puerto Rican Dominican for example yet my race is clearly white.

Can you define ethnicity super-fast please?

[Yung]

Race and ethnicity in some ways go together. An ethnic group is a group that has a distinct culture of its own. It tends to be a group that shares an ancestral heritage. A race, is defined more by physical characteristics. Thus, a black Dominican and an African American would be of the same race, but not of the same ethnicity.
Society plays a huge role in defining these terms. We say in America, for example that a person who is (like me) half-Asian and half-white is Asian. As long as a person looks partly (for example) Asian, he is an Asian even if he is just as white as he is Asian. So our society defines how much of a certain set of physical characteristics you have to have before you are a member of a given race.

This is the definition that you agree with, then?

I disagree about your ethnicity. You are not Dominican-Puerto Rican. You don't eat the food, speak the language, celebrate the holidays, or educate others about your traditions. You are a white American.

Being less affluent and having no college tends to fit with our age demographics, 57% of our audience are less than 25 and so are highly likely to be either too young to have finished college or be earning more than $50k per year.

We have plenty of Asian members, they just don't go around screaming about it so you probably don't notice them much.
